w87r Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 8 minutes ago, VikingsFanInChennai said: A random Twitter account, supposedly insider for Chiefs, or Chiefs fan who Destin Adams was quoting and asking details about the progress of the talks with Colts. I saw that account yesterday morning, then during the day that account got deleted. Yeah I saw the account as well. Pretty sure name was like "chiefszone15". Wish we had the screenshot . I just want to know who it actually was. Is it someone in the know, as Chloe suggested? Is it someone who deleted their account because they were embarrassed? Is it someone who's account was deleted because they got fired? Is it someone's burner account and for busted? Seems strange to delete account over a tweet that clearly had a lot of truths in it. Colts and Chiefs/Sneed have been in advanced talks. I don't think many are objecting to that. Will it get to finish line? Are they over? Who knows? I just think it is weird to delete an account over that? Has to be something else. Is the account still down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Twitter can also shut certain accounts down that accumulate likes or something quickly. It might have been Twitter. But Ben is in Denver so if he knew who it was it had to be someone nationally. Someone suggested maybe from NFL league office. I don’t that though.

I think I might be getting 2 accounts from yesterday confused.with one another. Not sure the chiefszone15 guy(100k+ followers) is the same as the Pretty Rickey guy? Maybe it was if it was the 100k+ guy? Might have to go back and find the original tweets when the started rolling through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This deleted account was in some communication with Destin. One of the Destin's tweet was RICKEY SPEAKS quoting that guy's post about the progress, so it looked like Destin looked up to him for some updates from Chiefs side. Benjamin Albright (another self reported insider) in X, suggested that account might have been deleted because people dug into the past history of the account and might have identified the real person or source behind it, and they didn't want to reveal their identity, so removed the account from X. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth deleting account over. So that makes this situation a little more curious to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 I think one thing to keep in mind is contract negotiations usually don’t go super smooth. There are always bumps in the road. Franklin said colts and his agent were working on his extension since NOV. Most of the time things will get ironed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameson Winston 3. Dorian Thompson Robinson 4. Tyler Huntley And for some mysterious reason, they didn’t bring back Flacco who did a very good job for them.

FWIW: Just read on ESPN that unlike most years, there have been almost no big contracts for WRs in the first week of FA this year. One: Calvin Ridley Thomas 4/92 with Tenn. The FA class of WRs is viewed as very weak while the draft class is considered very very strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean slate as QB1 Intetesting: I heard the EXACT same thing from the smartest person on the NFL radio channel on Sirius XM. Pat Kirwan, a career NFL Exec, speculated that on Friday. said no on will clamor for Winston, but plenty would for Flacco. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if teams aren’t in the race for him players will hold out to see what his contract looks like if he gets one because they will base their asking price on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One: Calvin Ridley Thomas 4/92 with Tenn. The FA class of WRs is viewed as very weak while the draft class is considered very very strong. Yeah, the Ridley contract was ridiculous. I would have never signed him for that if I were Ballard. I do understand that the draft class of WRs is very strong. I'm hoping we get one within the Colts first 3 picks. Obviously though, it's one of those things where we only have two solid WRs right now in Pittman and Downs, and although we probably draft a WR (or 2) it's still not guaranteed as of now, and I would have preferred to have signed a WR and drafted one early to hedge our bets and Osborn was the perfect underrated guy IMO. JMO of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
